That wee touch of lemon makes all the difference.

You’ll need an electric pressure cooker.

First, raise your hand if you have an electric pressure cooker. Keep it up if you keep telling yourself that you need to use it more often.

Keep it simple.

Second, raise your hand if you want a quick and easy dessert recipe. Keep it up if you are intrigued by the idea of making dessert in your pressure cooker.

These can also be made a day in advance, waiting for you in the fridge until you are ready.

Surprise, it’s also low-carb!

Last, raise your hand if you are interested in low-carb or keto desserts. Keep it up if you aren’t really interested in that because you won’t meet the “regular” sugar in this recipe. Of course, you can always substitute one for the other. This recipe is friendly and all like that.

What exactly IS crème brulee?

You’re in for a treat, literally! Basically it is sweet custard filling with a caramelized sugar top-layer. There is a super-quick second step to this recipe once it is finished cooking in the Instant Pot… you will be using your broiler to melt and caramelize the sugar. Don’t worry, it’s easy AND since you’ll be using a Keto sugar, the topping is low-carb, too.

Eat happily,

Course Dessert
Cuisine French
Keyword Pressure cooker crème brulee

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup Swerve sugar substitute + 3 tablespoons
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Separate egg yolks from the white and place in bowl with 1/3 cup Swerve.  Whisk. (You can always use the egg whites for breakfast the next morning or make merengue.)
  • Pour in remaining ingredients and whisk until incorporated.
  • Pour into ramekins using a strainer. This will make the custard super smooth. Although honestly, skip the strainer and just pour it in if you want! Let’s keep it easy!
  • Place ramekins in pressure cooker. If your ramekins are on the larger size, you may have to cook two batches. (My blue ramekins were large so I sold them on ebay and purchased smaller ones.)
  • Add a cup of water to pressure cooker. If you have a trivet that fits your Instant Pot, I highly recommend placing your ramekins on them. If you don’t, a trick is to add balls of aluminum foil and nest your ramekins on top of them.
  • Lock the lid. It works on both vent and seal options, the results are the same. Set to cook for 7 minutes on low pressure.
  • Once cooked (listen for the beep), watch the timer for 15 minutes. Quick release the pressure and remove live.
  • Place the custards in the fridge to firm up. Of course, you can eat right away or you can leave them in the fridge up to 24 hours until you are ready to serve. Ideally, let it sit in the fridge for an hour to firm up nicely.
  • Custard can be eaten right away or the next day. If you want to make it a crème brulee, you’re ready for the next step: the caramelized top-layer. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and set your oven to broil. With the remaining 3 tablespoons of Swerve, sprinkle evenly over the ramekins. I like my dessert on the less sweet side, however if you have a sweet tooth, by all means add more sugar. Place the sheet pan with the ramekins in the oven and let the broiler caramelize the top to a beautiful soft-brown glaze. 
  • Remove from oven and enjoy!

Notes

Note: Don’t overdo the lemon extract. Remember, this is a “touch” of lemon!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠

Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠

My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Turkey?⁠

Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠

The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
